Pricing guide

The main cost drivers are the amount of floor area and the quality of the product you choose. Jobs that include removing existing coverings, levelling or moisture remediation, or require specialist patterns and premium finishes are typically more involved. Timing (for example staged work or after‑hours attendance) and site access can also affect the overall quote.

  • Area size and room count

    Larger or multiple rooms increase labour time and material quantities, and may require more handling and waste management.

  • Material quality and finish

    Budget to premium products and complex finishes usually need different installation techniques and more skilled labour.

  • Existing flooring removal and disposal

    Removing carpet, vinyl or laminate and disposing of waste adds labour and logistics compared with a direct overlay.

  • Subfloor condition and levelling

    Uneven, damp or damaged subfloors often require levelling, moisture remediation or partial replacement, which expands the job scope.

  • Complex patterns and staged installs

    Special layouts, staged work or long acclimatisation and drying times typically extend the project duration and may need more experienced installers.

Frequently asked questions

How long does installation usually take?
That depends on the room size, whether old coverings need removal, and if subfloor repairs are required. Straightforward installs are typically completed in a single visit, while jobs needing removal, levelling or staged work usually take longer and may require follow-up visits.
Do flooring installers need to be registered?
Flooring specialists typically require registration or a relevant trade licence in many jurisdictions. Requirements vary by state or territory, so it's usually advisable to confirm the installer’s registration before work begins.
Who supplies the flooring materials and trims?
Often homeowners choose and supply the flooring product, particularly for premium options, while installers commonly provide basic trims and site protection. It's important to clarify who supplies specific materials and whether trims are included when requesting quotes.
Will you remove and dispose of my old flooring?
Removal of common coverings like carpet, vinyl or laminate is often offered as a remove‑and‑dispose option and usually includes disposal logistics. Major demolition such as tile removal or structural works may be treated separately and can expand the scope.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
